Ben Dickinson
Hi, I'm Ben a recent DUSAGG alumni and your Liaisons Officer. I am responsible for developing and maintaining SSAGO's relationship with the Scout and Guide Graduate Association (SAGGA), the Scouts and the Guides! I also manage the SSAGO SASU by adding volunteers, chasing outstanding training and processing DBS checks.
If you are volunteering at a one off event, or are interested in SSAGO's relationship with other organisations, feel free to email me at sasu@ssago.org!
